FULWOOD OATS 
Best Oat for February Planting. Very early, short stiff straw, high yields, 
resists winter, rust, heat, drought and storms. 
Our new selection from Fulgrain has yielded up to % more at Southern 
experiment stations with greater winter resistance. Strongest straw in Va. 
tests; only lodged 2% to 22% for Clinton, 23% for Andrew. Averaged 10 
bu. per acre more than Arlington in the 4 N. C. tests, is 10 days earlier and 
has much stronger straw a foot shorter. Far outyielded Arlington and 
Fulgrain at 15 Alabama stations for 2 years, averaging 117 bu. per acre 
at one station, 31 bu. more than Arlington. Vigorous dark green growth. 
Its short stiff straw makes it ideal as a nurse crop seeding lespedeza, grass 
and clover and for heavy fertilization of rich soils where other oats grow 
too rank and lodge. 
WOOD’S SEED OATS. High Germination. Double Cleaned. 99% Pure. 
New Bags. Ceresan Treated to insure quicker germination and better 
stands in cold damp weather, stronger healthier plants, deeper roots, 
stronger stalks, larger heads free of smut and disease, 6 to 18% better 
yields, higher quality grain that brings top prices. 
Oats are excellent for grain, hay, or pasture for all livestock, producing 
4 to 6 tons per acre of forage, with 12 to 17% protein. Oat pasture cuts 
grain feed requirements in half. Drill 2/2 to 3 bu. per acre for grain, 3 to 
5 bu. for pasture. In Jan. or Feb. sow winter varieties like Fulwood, Ar- 
lington and Forkedeer. Arlington is the best oat for pasture and hay in 
March and April sow spring oats like Southland, Andrew and Columbia. 
Use 500 Ibs. 5-10-10 at planting. Top dress with nitrogen especially for 
pasture. Excess nitrogen may cause lodging of grain. 
COLUMBIA—Early Maturing, High Yielding Spring Oat. 
A selection from Fulghum made in the Upper South. It is so well adapted 
and has such excellent yield records for grain and hay that it has remained 
one of the most popular spring oats when new varieties have come and 
gone. It has tannish-gray seed with high quality and test weight. It resists 
Victoria blight. It has tall stiff straw, stronger than Andrew but not as 
strong as Clinton, and may lodge after grain ripens. 
CLINTON 59-—Stiff Straw, High Yielding Spring Oat. 
Recommended anywhere spring oats are popular. A uniform reselection 
of Clinton, ripens more evenly. Resists Victoria blight, rust and smut. Has 
heavy yellow grain, low in hull, high in test weight and feed value. 
Matures medium early. Medium tall stiff straw ripens later than grain and 
stands up when grain is dead ripe. Good for combining on rich land or 
soil high in nitrogen, where other oats fall down. 
WHITE SPRING—A Fine Heavy Oat for the Upper South. 
Bright quality, onion free. The heavy yielding, extra heavy, plump, white 
oat for which cattlemen and horse breeders pay a big premium. Its tall 
stalks and tremendous heads yield heavy crops of grain or hay. 
Wood’s Grain Pasture Mixture, the most economical feed, relished by all 
livestock. 
Keeps more animals per acre in good healthy condition in late winter and 
early spring when permanent pastures are short, with less grain, hay and 
silage, stimulating milk flow. Disk in on lespedeza fields for early feed 
before lespedeza comes out in late spring. Ideal to supplement perma- 
nent pastures. Popular for poultry and hogs as it contains rape properly 
balanced with grain so it cannot cause bloat. 
Dr. T. R. Stanton, oat authority, U.S.D.A., congratulates Bill Wood on the 
superiority of Fulwood Oats: ‘High in yield and quality, shorter, stiffer 
straw, better standing ability.” N. C., Va. and Ala. recommend it. In 
1953 experiment station tests it made 126 bu. per acre, highest in Pied- 
mont, N. C.; averaged 111 bu., best in Coastal N. C. tests; 125 bu. tops in 
S. C. tests; and 109 bu. at V.P.I. 
We breed small grains in Virginia, North and South Carolina for high 
yields and resistance to disease, cold and lodging. Our improved strains 
are tested by experiment stations throughout the Southeast, who report 
most favorably. We are the largest Southern breeders and growers of 
small grain seed, growing about 8,000 acres from the finest Registered, 
Certified or Pedigreed stock. No crop follows other small grain. All fields 
are carefully rogued and field inspected for Certification. 
ANDREW-—The Highest Yielding Spring Oat, Heavy Grain. 
Grown from Registered seed in Virginia, passed Certified field inspection. 
Recommended in Virginia, Maryland, and the Upper South. Has big open 
heads, yellow grain of high quality, low hull per cent, good weight per bu. 
Matures early, 2 days ahead of Clinton. Has stiff straw but not as stiff 
as Clinton. It is the same height as Columbia, an inch taller than Clinton. 
It is resistant to smut, Victoria blight and leaf rust. For several years it 
outyielded all spring oats in Va., Md., N. J., and N. C. tests, making 106.9 
bu. per acre at Waynesville, N. C. It was exceeded only by Arlington in 
hay yields in N. C. tests. At 8 Va. experiment stations it for 3 years aver- 
aged 6 bu. per acre more than Clinton, Columbia or any other spring oat. 
Wood's Grain Pasture Mixture 
Furnishes more grazing in less time and at less cost than any other spring 
crop. It is a highly nutritious balanced diet of grains and legumes that 
cannot cause bloat. It reduces grain requirements when feed costs are 
high, saves expensive labor in feeding, and returns greater profits. Gives 
permanent pastures a chance to recover from close grazing. Small grains 
make more growth in cold weather than grass or legumes. 
Contains winter oats that grow faster, earlier, wider leaves, make 
more winter growth and forage. Rye Grass, Beardless Barley and Smooth 
Wheat grow in colder weather than oat. Dwarf Essex Rape stays green and 
palatable in the coldest weather, high in vitamins, relished by all live- 
stock, hogs and poultry. Crimson Clover, Early Field Peas and Hairy Vetch 
supply proteins for growth and warmth in cold weather and enrich the 
soil with nitrogen. The ideal nurse crop for seeding permanent pasture 
mixtures. Drill 100 lbs. per acre Jan. to April, the earlier the better. Use 
400 lbs. 5-10-5. Top dress. Do not graze under 3 inches. 
Wood's Grain Hay Mixture 
Makes bumper crops of nutritious hay, easy to cure, relished by all live- 
stock, a balanced ration of proteins, vitamins, etc. Much more productive 
and palatable than oats or any other crop sown alone. Excellent nurse 
crop seeding grass and clover as it comes off early. Contains Early Field 
Peas, Hairy Vetch, Crimson Clover and Winter Oats which grow faster in 
cold weather, taller, make more hay and stand up making it easy to harvest. 
Sow 100 Ibs. acre Jan. to April, the earlier the better. Fertilize 
well, PRICES IN FRONT OF CATALOG 49
